So, Spoon and his agent prevailed on the timing of his getting 100% of his signing bonus?

I haven't seen that detail yet. Which side conceded or whether they met in the middle is yet to be determined.

 

[BigMeach]

His signing bonus was always the same right? It's just a matter of when he gets it and how spread out it is over 4 years? Time will tell

That's how I understood it.

Correct

 

[sutz]

The amounts were never in question. That's set by the rookie slotting in the CBA. It's all about how the bonus was distributed. Haven't heard that detail yet.

 

[nanomoz]

Correct

Cool. Dude wanted more money up front. Can't blame him. TVM is real.

 

[FrodosFinger]

Boom!!!
Now let’s do work!!!!

Where are all the people that were wringing their hands and crying catastrophe now? Gone, because there's no drama in a non-story. Can't wait to see this kid on the field.

 

[LeveeBreak]

Does he have a clause saying he can't play slot? j/k

Being the last rookie signed this late into training camp is a story.

Bull$#*t, Drafted @ #5, & and holding out to the tune of being the LAST man to sign? looks like a lot of UNECCESSARY petty on his part.
No "Wringing of hands" or anything of the kind
I was jacked when they took him with their first overall pick, and now?, meh...KUDO'S to EVERY OTHER guy that the Seahawks Drafted as ->THEY MANNED UP & SHOWED UP.

Careful patting yourself on the back too much. And no those people (myself included) aren’t gone.

Pete wasn't concerned. And your post IS wringing of hands.

My post was not in the slightest self-congratulatory. I didn't mention anything about myself, except my enthusiasm to see Witherspoon play. Also, not one of you said anything about this deal until being called out, because there's no drama in it to make a spectacle of yourselves.

 

[Hawkinaz]

My guess the short holdout was agent driven

It was 2 days. Not 2 games. Jesus Christ, he's 22. Cut him some slack.

 

[FrodosFinger]

It was a non issue. I actually guaranteed 2 days ago that he would be signed by Friday and I’m not even his agent lol
